-Michael's POV-
To be one hundred percent honest I wanted Ashton to be dead. I know that seems extremely morbid and rude but with him alive and out there Delilah can't move on.
If Ashton was dead she would have her taken her time to grief then she would of moved on but now she's stuck in between. She's in a middle place, and it's hurting her.
I'm worried she's not going to be able to move on because of this.
"Morning Michael." Luke's rough voice said, pulling me away from my thoughts.
"Morning, where's Delilah?"
"You room." He replied, stretching. God Luke is so fit, it makes me extreamly self conscious.
I stand up and quickly walk away to my room, before I walk in I pause. Maybe she wants to be alone. Maybe she's thinking and didn't wanna b-
"Michael just come in." Delilah huffed, startling me. I sigh and walk into the room.
"How did you know it was me out there?"
"Because Luke just left and you think out loud." She replied laughing slightly.
"Ah that's embarrassing." I say sitting down beside her.
"Don't worry about it Mike, I do it too." I laugh, feeling slightly better, "Anyways, what's up?"
I shrug. I really didn't have a reason to come in here I just wanted to see her.
"Just wanted to say hey." She sighs resting her head on her hands, "Hey, do you want to do something today? Something fun?"
"Fun? What's that?" She joked.
"Funny. We could go to the beach? Then go get ice cream." She smiled looking over at me.
"I knew there was a reason I kept you around." I laugh smiling back at her, "Come on, let's tell Luke!"

The beach was completely empty when we got there. Like not kidding, no one but a life guard and the shop owners were here.
"Where is everyone?" Luke whispered, looking around confused.
"Uhm, I have no idea. The beach is usually really crowed..." I reply walking up to the life guard's chair, "Excuse me! Sir?"
He peered down at me rolling his eyes slightly, "What do you want?"
"I uh...I just wanted to know why the beach is so empty." He sighs.
"Because the new beach club opened on the beach around town. Everyone's
going there now."
Pursing my lips I walk back to Delilah and Luke. They both look over at me, confusion written across their faces.
"So Mr. Jackass-Life Guard said everyone's across town at some new beach club?" Luke frowned but Delilah broke out into a wide smile.
"So what your saying is we have a beach all to ourselves?"
"I guess so?" Her smile only seemed to grow wider as she took off towards the shore line dropping everything in her hands at Luke's feet.
"Delilah what the hell?" Luke muttered picking it up and stumbling towards her, me running behind him.
I watched as she ran happily through the water. Splashing about, she seemed genuinely happy, I couldn't help but smile at her.
"What's got you all smiley?" Luke huffed.
"Look at her." I replied, "Look how happy she is." Confused Luke looked out to the water, looking at Delilah. His annoyed demeanour seemed to drop instantly as his eyes landed upon her.
He smiled so big I thought he might spilt his mouth open. His eyes were glazed over with an emotion I couldn't describe better than love. I'll admit, it was pretty cute.
In this instant I felt the all three of us, we're finally happy... and I loved it.
